What is the difference between a lever and a fulcrum?
A fulcrum is the fixed point which provides an axis for the lever
First Second and Third class levers are determined by the location of what?
the fulcrum
Where are the effortloadand fulcrum located in a first class lever?
In a First Class lever, the fulcrum is between the effort and the load.
What is the relationship between distance from the fulcrum and the mechanical advantage of a first class lever?
The mechanical advantage of a First Class lever is Distance of the effort from the fulcrum/Distance of the load from the fulcrum
What is the fulcrum between effort and resistance?
a 1st class lever there are 3 types of levers, 1st 2nd and 3rd class. 1st: fulcrum between effort and resistance 2nd:resistance between fulcrum and effort 3rd: effort between fulcrum and resistance Fulcrum = a pivot point on a lever. Effort = force applied on lever Resistance = load 1st example:see-saw/scissors 2nd example:wheelbarrow/car door 3rd example:someone raking/ hockey stick being usued
Where is the fulcrum on a axe?
The fulcrum is at the location of the user's grip, which is movable.
Levers can be divided into classes depending on the position of the?
on the position of the fulcrum
Where is the lever of the hammer?
The lever class of a hammer depends upon its use. If the hammer is used as a claw to remove a nail, it is a first class lever. When the hammer is used to strike a nail, it is a third class lever. There are three classes of levers. The difference between the classes lies in the position of the load, the effort and the fulcrum. When the fulcrum is between the load and effort, the object is a first class lever. If the load is between the fulcrum and effort, the object is a second class lever. A third class lever places the effort between the load and the fulcrum.
What are the differences between levers and linkages?
A lever is something that moves around a central fulcrum A linkage is something that connects two objects
What is the difference between a lever and a fulcrum?
A fulcrum is the fixed point which provides an axis for the lever
First Second and Third class levers are determined by the location of what?
the fulcrum
What spot on an oar is the optimum location for its fulcrum?
The center of (it's) gravity
What is the fulcrum called at the end with the load in the middle?
The fulcrum can only ever be called the fulcrum. You may be asking about the three classes of levers: if so, you need to ask the question with enough description to allow an answer.
What is the length from the fulcrum to the load?
That is the distance between the load and the fulcrum. The load may be on the far side, or the near side of the fulcrum. One often overlooked fact, is that as the distance from load to fulcrum increases, the load on the fulcrum decreases.
What is between a fulcrum and effort force?
It depends on which type of lever you are using. If it is a Class II lever then the load is between the fulcrum and the effort.
Where are the effort load and fulcrum locate in a first class lever?
The fulcrum is between the effort and the load.
What would most likely happen if a fulcrum were moved to the left and placed between two empty book holders?
If the book holders are shorter than the fulcrum then it can still function are a fulcrum. If the book holders are taller than the fulcrum then it can't function as a fulcrum.
